Football transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Tottenham have lodged a proposal worth €69.4 million (£60m), including add-ons, while Ben Jacobs has now reported that an agreement has been struck between the two clubs.

He posted on X: “BREAKING: Tottenham have reached an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze. Palace must now find a replacement with Eze waiting and training as normal.”

Palace have earmarked the likes of Bilal El Khannouss (Leicester City) and Christos Tzolis (Club Brugge) as potential replacements for Eze, as per The Athletic, and the Englishman is unlikely to finalise his proposed move to Tottenham until Oliver Glasner’s side complete a deal for his successor.

Eze, 27, scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions last season, and he was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal before Spurs opted to hijack the deal.

Eze has been on Tottenham’s radar for months, with FootballTransfers reporting their interest back in September, however they opted to launch a full pursuit following the ACL injury suffered by James Maddison in pre-season.

The England international, who has 12 caps for his country, is expected to become Tottenham’s seventh signing of the 2025 summer transfer window, following the purchases of Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha (loan).

Spurs are also interested in signing Manchester City winger Savinho, although their pursuit of his signature has diminished amid negotiations over a deal for Eze.
